Mawson Constructions

Mawson Constructions is an excavation and earthmoving company based in Shepparton, serving clients throughout northern Victoria and southern New South Wales. The Mawson family established a concreting and quarrying business in 1912, and the current company was established in 1995, when Lloyd Mawson purchased it in its entirety from his brothers. Lloyd Mawson directed the company to become a civil engineering entity, and his son Peter is involved in the business.

The company has undertaken local and state government road and drainage construction, provided foundations for Shepparton Private Hospital, and built underground infrastructure for housing estates. It uses GPS and large modern computerised machinery and is a Systems Certified Contractor JAS-ANZ. Main services include project management, sub-division and site works, road and carpark construction, kerb and pavement construction, drainage and pipeline works, bulk earthmoving, irrigation layouts, and dam construction.

Mawson Constructions covers concrete contracting, drainage, earthworks, road construction and trucking around Shepparton. In the accounts available, the recurring concern is communication, with customers describing being passed between staff rather than receiving direct answers. Work not being completed by an agreed date is also raised.

One account details access to a property being blocked during road upgrades at Napier Street in Bendigo without warning, followed by assurances that a solution would be found but no return contact. The manner of staff is described in negative terms as well. These accounts centre on road construction and upgrades, and the theme running through them is a lack of responsiveness and follow-through.
